"Extracting this may take a while" for 4 hours

I downloaded the trial and had to download the adobe download assistant and it started downloading my file after it finished.  After it finished downloading it said Extracting... This may take a while.  Its been saying that for 4 hours now and it only took 30min to download.  Is this normal and if not what can i do to fix it?

Check for the Internet connection. If its good, then try the same with a different broswer. Below link would help in this scenario,

  • Photoshop Elements 10 downloaded but hanging on 'extracting this may take a while' - what do I do?

    Its been like this for ages, and as I'm new to Mac, I'm not sure where to begin looking for the download location.....
    Appreciate any help!!
    Thanks.

    From your description it sounds like you have chosen a location to download, i.e. the Applications folder, which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have permission to download too.  I would recommend canceling the download and trying again.  This time please choose the default location of the User folder to download the install files too.

  • Extracting-this may take forever.

    "Extracting—this may take a while."
    Is it supposed to take all afternoon to extract a trial of Design & Web? What should I do? (Macbook OS 10.6.8)

    No, it isn't. Anything longer than half an hour is a busted attempt. Try again picking otehr download and extraction locations.

  • Downloading TRIAL CS6... "Extracting...this may take a while.." Is taking too long.

    I've used the Adobe Assistant to download the trial version of CS6, Design and Web Premium on my MAC. It has gotten all the way to the point where it says "Extracting...this may take a while...." But it's been almost 24 hours at this point. What should I do? Do I start over? Or is there something I can do to speed up this process. This is ridiculous at this point. Never had  problem like this before...

    Yes, start over. Use anotehr browser to initiate the download or use this method:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Then extract the files manualyl using winZip or similar tools.

  • Rikaichan (add-on) doesn't work at my office. It gives this error "Javascript application: the index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers". And then the PC freezes. What should I do?

    I'm using Firefox 3.6.17, and have installed Rikaichan 2.02. Once I've installed the Japanese-English dictionary, I then click on Rikaichan to get it started, and it always gives a "Javascript Application" error:
    '''"The index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers"'''
    Rikaichan always works fine on my laptop, but I just can't seem to install it properly at work. Is there some sort of office security screwing it up?

    venicespent,
    Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
    Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
    But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

  • Premiere Pro trial hangs at "Extracting...this may take a while"

    I have tried downloading Premiere Pro several times and each time it downloads and it starts to extract.  It just sits at the "Extracting...this may take a while screen".  I left it up all night and it was still that way the next morning.  I looked in take manager and It does NOT say "not responding"  so I think the download assistant program is OK.  I did go ahead and uninstall it and reinstalled it as well.  I am running Win7 64bit.

    This is likely happening due to choosing a location to download the install files to that the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient permissions to write too.  I would recommend completing solution 1 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_1 to reset the download experience.  When reinitiating the download please choose the default location of your User folder to download the install files too.
    Alternately you can follow the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

  • "Letterboxing...This may take a while" - 17hrs and COUNTING???!! Advice

    I'm doing a football scouting film and I imported footage from a Canon XL1 and a small Sony HandyCam.
    There are appx 70+ clips in the project.
    When I clicked on the "EDIT" switch to start editing, I got the "LETTERBOXING. PLEASE WAIT...THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE" message...that was 17hrs ago!
    My hard drive is almost FULL and I'm guessing thats why its taking so long. I keep deleting things to make room for this to finish.
    1. Why does it even have to letterbox at all?
    2. How can I speed up this process?
    3. Should I FORCE QUIT and try to start over? (I don't wanna do that)
    ANY advice would be much appreciated
    thnx

    I would suggest force quitting, opening a new file and on the opening window, change the bar at the bottom to say DV widescreen. Thay way it doesn't have to Letterbox

  • Pillarboxing. Please wait. This may take a while.

    How long is a while? I imported about a thirty min. 4x3 DV (plan to include other material made in widescreen). I'm not sure because iMovie's help don't work while doing this "pillarboxing" but I imagine it has to do with stretching the 4x3 format video into widescreen (?), however, it's taking forever! Is this normal?
    No wait, it appears to be reducing the size of the clips; NOT maintaining how I imported, nor what I selected in setup. What? It looked good in import mode, and now iMovie is making sure it's 4x3 and NOT widescreen?
    I don't remember iMovie doing this before.
    Time will tell... a lot of time, lots and lots of time will tell.
    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Okay. Now that pillarboxing is complete, I guess I'll delete this project and start again, and uncheck "Automatic DV Pillarboxing & Letterboxing" in prefs.
    Bummer.
    Also, since I'm here: Why can't iMovie have more than just ONE VIDEO TRACK?? Is it impossible? Cheap PC movie editing programs do. Just wondering with all the improvements and updates and upgrades why one of the most important and desired feature or function is ignored?
    It'd be soooo much better and worth it.
    Com' on Apple, give us a video editing breakbreak! Not everyone wants to jump into FCE just for another track.... okay? Pretty please.

    Having purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Mac Download, and installed the program with Adobe Download Assistant, the program is loaded but the status bar has continued to run for 15 hours with a message underneath stating "Extracting...this might take a while".  Also, a warning message appeared during download stating "The following disk images couldn't be opened"; (Image) AcrobatPro_11_Web_W, (Reason) error -4960.  How do I complete this download?

    how large are your site collections and content databases?
    sounds to me like you're WELL past the recommendations, which could certainly cause such an impact.

  • After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.

  • HT203177 I have not backed up my computer using Time Machine since before I updated to Mavericks.  It has been "preparing backup" for a half hour at least and shows no indication of how long this may take.  Is something wrong?

    I have not backed up my computer using Time Machine since before I updated to Mavericks.  It has been "preparing backup" for a half hour at least and shows no indication of how long this may take.  Is something wrong?

    No. TM has to look through your entire drive contents and copy them all. This will take some time.
    Once the first backup is made, then subsequent backup will be much quicker, depending on how much data has changed since the last one.

  • Firefox keeps wanting to install ver.17, i let it and it stalls on 'checking now for add on cooperation', this may take a few min.', it stays over an hr, not mo

    ugh......firefox has been wanting to install 17.01 or 17.04, can't remember which number, it bugs me and bugs me until i say o.k. i'll update my version. so i let it, it has to restart my computer,, then it says just a minute firefox is checking your addons for comparison, or whatever the 'f' it says, then a box comes on and a scrolling horizontal line goes back and forth like its working and the bottom says, this may take a few minutes. well, i wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and........nothing. i can't cancel it i can't x out of the box...i've let it do it for over and hour and it does nothing.....so i have to use internet ex. i've redownloaded firefox from there to try it from scratch and same thing happens, if I say cancel to the box right away it stops then nothing and i can rehit the firefox button and it will load firefox. but never fear....another box comes up later and says you need the latest version of firefox....man if the system on your end isn't working, can't you guys see this? I'm disappointed that you have sold out not too long ago too. and the ads and slowness and privacy is becoming more of an issue

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.
